There are a few people expressing surprise that members of the green party in Ireland might be against left wing politics enough to resign from the party over backing Catherine Connolly for president...

I am curious how this could possibly still be surprising?

Connolly for President @catherinegalway.bsky.social · 2d

There has never been a more important time to elect a President who will be independent of Government.

A President who will represent Ireland with pride, courage, and integrity.

On 24th October, vote for a strong voice, independent of Government.

Disney’s sci-fi sequel “Tron: Ares” opened to a disappointing $33.5 million this weekend, falling short of projections of $45 million to $50 million.

For comparison, 2010’s “Tron: Legacy” debuted to $44 million (not adjusted for inflation).

I want to see it. I'm very much here for the world and the new music... Jared Leto though. No one wants to go with me and hes the named reason.

People will hold their nose to see him in a smaller role like Blade Runner or Suicide Squad but as a lead, people dont feel comfortable watching him.

On the pain front I feel like I've been punched in the chest.

James BroOOoOoophy *spooky noises* @jamesfbrophy.bsky.social · 4d

Your not supposed to let chronic pain get you down. You are supposed to feel greatfull for what you have but it runs out, you know.

The second thing I volunteered for this year has left me feeling messed around.

Some of this is on me and bad timing, but it still feels shit. Gratitude runs out.
